HLF grant for Assembly Rooms makeover
A multi-million pound scheme to rejuvenate Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms has secured a £441,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) is leading the £9.3m refurbishment of the George Street venue, which aims to transform the building into a major events and performance hub. Balfour Beatty Construction has been appointed to deliver the work, which will be completed in time for the Assembly Rooms to participate in the Cultural Olympiad next summer.
CEC culture and leisure convenor Deidre Brock said: "Work is already under way to transform Edinburgh's much loved Assembly Rooms into one of the most sought after events and performance hubs in the UK." Colin McLean, the head of HLF in Scotland, said: "This beautiful venue has its roots in Edinburgh's social, architectural and cultural history."
